  • 2018 Orienteering Queensland Championships
    2018 ORIENTEERING QUEENSLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS Long Distance Championships - Program In memoriam: Robin Simson 1936 - 2018 2 TINGALPA CREEK PRECINCT This year’s Queensland Orienteering Championships will be held near Tingalpa Reservoir in Brisbane. Logan City, Redland Shire, Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service own large pockets of adjoining land in the area extending from Kimberley Forest, Shailer Park in the south to Tingalpa Reservoir, Burbank in the north. The area includes Venman Bushland National Park, Mount Cotton to the east, Daisy Hill Conservation Park to the west (Daisy Hill map), Neville Lawrie Reserve and the Don & Christine Burnett Conservation Area, (Buhot Creek map) Priest- dale. Across Ford/Avalon Road, Brisbane Koala Bushlands continue north including (Buhot Creek North map) Sheldon, (Stockyard South map) Burbank, Emu Street Reserve, Sheldon, (Stockyard Creek map) Burbank, Summit Street Re- serve, Sheldon and another pocket of land on the edge of Tingalpa Reservoir which includes J.C. Trotter Memorial Park. The Tingalpa Creek map combines Buhot Creek North with Stockyard Creek South and Emu Street Reserve. Tingalpa Creek headwaters start in Venman Bushland National Park. Buhot Creek headwaters start in Daisy Hill Con- servation Park. The two creeks flow north intersecting about 1km short of the northern end of the Tingalpa Creek map then continue north to Tingalpa Reservoir. The actual dam wall is known as Leslie Harrison Dam. From the dam wall Tingalpa Creek continues to flow north, north east to Thornlands where it spills out into Moreton Bay. The bushland pockets have been protected to conserve the habitat of the local koala population.
